• Resumen

  • The author reflects on distinctions and differences between the terms public health and population health and speculates on if the public health community should distinguish itself from it. She suggests the discussion over terminology provides the public health community with an opportunity to clarify what they believe public health is or should be about. It mentions that health care services are not excluded by the population health approach but is placed in context.
